My original Post:

I have started Pilotmgr to sync for a new user and it stalls (fails to do 
anything else after I press the sync button).  The message I am getting in a 
popup window is to  give it a user name.  I already have a user name in the 
Palm Pilot.  what am I missing?

SOLUTION:

Once I cranked up PilotMgr from a command line, I got a error message:

glob  failure in pilotmgr.pm:  line #

I chased my tail around because sync'ing the same unit in a different 
cradle, on different desktop worked.  Sync'ing my old Palm III on the 
suspect cradle failed so I deduced it had to be something to do with the 
desktop it was connected to.  I was right.  The only difference, aside from 
the Palm Pilot's (one is a III and the new one is a IIIx) was that the 
desktop where it was failing is a Sparc 5.  I sudenly realized the problem 
was that the port speed was set too high --- 115,200.

I turned the port speed down to 19,200 and *it worked*!! I then turned it up 
to 34,700 and it still worked.  Then I remebered that the list archive had 
some discussion regarding this and now all is well.

Just confirmed that the authors really knew what they were doing because a 
fresh install of the package has the default setting for the port at 9600;  
slow but it works.

Thanks to Carl Jacobsen <carl@xxxxxxxx> and Hal DeVore 
<haldevore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> for their suggestions and the authors for a great 
little 'package.'
